The crew members are experienced sea dogs who collaborate with aquarium instructors. Their exciting cruises are opportunities to see and learn about some of the biggest mammals on the planet, which makes the experience memorable. When visiting this area, we suggest you book a cruise offered by Harbor Breeze (100 Aquarium Way – ), a very popular agency in Long Beach. Not far from the Ocean Science Center, you will find the Rainbow Harbor & Marina (200B Aquarium Way) where people go fishing, dock their boats, set sail on a harbor cruise (dinner included), or go whale watching. The visit to the Ocean Science Center can be combined with other aquarium tours or other on-site attractions, but the prices vary from the regular admission price. Admission is $36.95 for adults, $33.95 for seniors, and $26.95 for children. The aquarium is open every day from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm except Christmas Day. If you are looking for a souvenir, you can make a stop at the gift shop.

The aquarium also offers various activities, such as petting sharks and rays in the lagoon. Here you can even hear whale vocalizations, and see penguins and sea turtles in 4D. As we rode on the Ferris wheel, we got a different perception of space and admired the immensity of the ocean, which is directly linked to the identity of the city.īecause of the important role of the ocean, we think it’s important to mention another highlight, the Aquarium of the Pacific (100 Aquarium Way), one of the largest aquariums in the United States where young and old will be amazed to see over 550 species from 17 different habitats. When we visited the Long Beach Waterfront, we decided that we wanted to see the view from above on the Ferris wheel, located right in the mall. It is located along a walkway on South Pine Avenue on the waterfront next to the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center and the row of stores that make up The Pike Outlets. You can reach the waterfront after parking your car (paid parking at 65 Cedar Ave.) or by taking advantage of the free Passport Bus service that stops at the main attractions.įurther down on Pine Avenue, there is the Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame, which consists of photos and captions that honor the outstanding achievements of those who have contributed significantly to the world of motor racing.
